Answer;
Yes; this reaction be spontaneous if coupled with the hydrolysis of ATP.
Explanation;
The reaction converting glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate (energetically unfavorable) can be coupled with the conversion of ATP to ADP (energetically favorable):
Glycerol + HPO42 ⟶glycerol-3-phosphate+H2O
ATP + H2O⟶ ADP + HPO42− + H+
Ionic bonds hold NaCl together
So, you need to have same ammount of atoms on the left and on the right side of the equation. You need to count the ammount of attoms of every substance on the left, and make sure that on the right side the ammount is same. For example in the 1st one it’s 6Sn+2P4=2Sn3P4, so that you have 6atoms of Sn on the left and 6 atoms of Sn on the right, same with the P
Answer:
- <u><em>Magnesium and fluorine.</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>Ionic compounds</em> are formed by the electrostatic attraction of cations and anions.
Cations, positive ions, are formed when atoms lose electrons, and anions, negative ions, are formed when atoms gain electrons.
When two different atoms have similar atraction for electrons (electronegativity) they will not donate to nor catch electrons from each other, so cations and anions will not be formed. Instead, the atoms would prefer to share electrons forming covalent bonds to complete their outermost shell (octet rule).
Then, in order to form ionic compounds the electronegativities have to substantially different. This situation does not happen between two nonmetal elements, which nitrogen and sulfur are. Then, you can predict safely that nitrogen and sulfur will not form an ionic compound.
Ionic compounds, then require the electronegativity difference that exist between some metals and nonmetals. Being magnesium an alkaline earth metal, its electronegativity is very low. On the other hand, fluorine the first element of the group 17, has the highest electronegativity of all the elements.Thus magnesium and fluorine will have enough electronegativity difference to justify the exchange of electrons, forming ions and, consequently, ionic compounds.
